It's their Quality of Life initiative. Nintendo has already tested it on Sakurai, now they are ready to sell it to the masses. Now we will all be immortal and Nintendo and exploit our nostalgia for all time!

Get ready for Nintendo's stocks to drop because people set themselves up for their gamer-pride-hype for a new massively-overpowered system, only to be thoroughly disappointed when it's a system-revision or something-different designed to pull in more casual gamers.

The fact that they are search keywords doesn't invalidate the fact that there could be a new console announced at the show.

Remember that these search keywords are there to make it easier to find the website before, during and after the show is over. If there is in fact a new system announced, someone could hypothetically see a tweet about it and google "new nintendo system" to find out more information. And boom, you're directed to Nintendo's E3 hub.

However, this particular keyword could be part of a number of other generic keywords leftover from other years and could be referring to the Wii U or 3DS. But the fact that it has been removed only strengthens the other theory. This assuming that the leaked image is true.

It will be nothing more than the "QOL" thing they were talking about, or perhaps another new model of 3DS. I VERY highly doubt they will be unveiling a new portable, and CERTAINLY not a new home console, this year. I would not seriously expect a successor to Wii U to be announced until 2016.

So people should probably get any such notions out of their heads for the immediate future. Nintendo, if they're smart, and I think they are (problems notwithstanding), will ride the Wii U out, and stick with the platform.

Wii U rebranded as something else without the game pad

Nintendo would only do that if they wanted the Wii U to sell even less. The one thing that sets you apart from the competition and removing it would stick the final nail in the Wii U coffin. Without the gamepad it's just an underpowered console with barely any third party games. And I've seen lots of people suggesting that's what Nintendo should do
